Is it a bad idea to take CSC 236+MA305+CSC 316 all in the same semester?

totally depends on who teaches ma305 and csc316.

csc236 is easy and fun if you keep on pace with the class.

ma305 was easier to me than calculus(less bullshit to memorize).

csc316 was cake, although i had stewart during the summer 5 week section.

YMMV.

Alright, thanks

316 can be really time consuming, but you should probably be ok. 236 was my favorite class at ncsu

for 236, just go to the weekly review session and use that time to study for the class, once you understand the topics, it's not a hard class. 316 is time consuming but doable.

I'm planning on taking the same course load. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

ma305 was challenging, but not bad. 236 is straight as long as you do all the work, and the review sessions really helped me. i'm gonna be sitting in 316 with you most likely

MA305 is time-consuming, but not mad crazy hard.
CSC236 can be a little more difficult if the only language you've had exposure to is Java.

CSC316 you should put some heavy time aside for to thoroughly understand and take seriously. Stewart's homeworks were some of the hardest I've had at NCSU ... but if you can understand them, you'll do well on a lot of job interviews.

You can take all three so long as you aren't trying to to toss in a 4 credit hour science + another technical subject. Otherwise, pick MA305 + one other (316 would be the better choice, prereq for more courses) if you don't want to overload yourself.

all 3 classes are easy.

as long as jing isn't teaching 305 you are okay

I didnt have 236 (switched in and other credits handled), however it's not known to be insane hard.
305 was anything but difficult.
316 highly depends on the proff.

^^yeah really, i started taking that with him a couple semesters and couldnt understand a single word that came out of his mouth. dropped it after bombing the first test. my problem is that i co-op in the spring and he teaches it in the fall, so i dont know when im gonna take it, cuz it sure as hell isnt gonna be with him

just take 405. it will help you more, anyway

10/21/2005 10:14:54 AM

is 405 harder than 305?

10/23/2005 1:00:29 PM

405 can be alot harder depending on the instructor, but mostly its about the same.

if you are taking 316 with Rhee then no. He loves to give you lots and lots of work
